Laudrup, who led the club to the League Cup last season, claimed on Tuesday he was dismissed by email because of a breach of contract - but has not been told what the breach was.

The club has yet to respond officially, but Monk feels it was a pointless move.

"He couldn't answer most of the questions for legal reasons," he said.

"So there was no real point in having it.

"If you call a press conference like that, you should be able to say what you want to say."

As well as leading the club to their first major domestic trophy, Laudrup also helped guide Swansea to ninth in the Premier League, their highest finish since they were sixth in the old First Division in 1982.
